Hydro help

[#1cheesebuds]

Im using an earogarden. I fallowed the feeding instructions and everything was growing smoothly. Now she looks sad. This morning i chainged the old water with new water phed to 6.0-6.1. Whats wrong with it and what should i do? The first pic is from a fw days ago the seconed pic is from today. Also there is an airstone in there.

What’s the root zone like with that thing? I would think it’s inadequate for what your trying to accomplish. Is it fully open to the bottom or?

 

[#1cheesebuds]

No its only open to the bottm of the black container.

What kind of nutrient levels are you running and what is that made up of?
I would lower that pH to 5.7. Are the roots looking healthy?

 

[#1cheesebuds]

The roots look healthy and the old water wasnt green or slimy.

Hi,

Could it be that it's drowning in this system ?

Thats why theres now 2 air stones on 24/7. Hopfully this helps oxygenate the roots.

I read correctly that you added air pumps (not only stones?) and I wish that it will solve this problem.
(If not maybe you could try to add a net or a wire mesh as a separation in your system to avoid roots to be directly in water...?)

Your roots need more oxygen friend. The plant looks like it is suffering.

The airstones are now helping from being on 24/7.
